Dr. Muhammad Munir

"Precedent In Islamic Law With Special Reference To The Federal Shariat Court And The Legal System In Pakistan”, Muhammad Munir Dr.

Dr. Muhammad Munir

This paper attempts to answer the question whether the common law doctrine of precedent as practiced in Pakistan is compatible with the traditional Islamic legal system.

The paper also examines the judicial system of India under the Moghuls and the East India Company and traces the origins and evolution of the doctrine of precedent in the Indian sub-continent, more particularly in Pakistan.

Suicide Attacks And Islamic Law, Muhammad Munir Dr.

Dr. Muhammad Munir

Suicide attacks are a recurrent feature of many conflicts.

The author examines such attacks from an Islamic jus in bello perspective.

Marriage In Islam: A Civil Contract Or A Sacrosanct?, Muhammad Munir Dr.

Dr. Muhammad Munir

Marriage is one of the most sacred contract in Islam and not an ordinary contract of sale and purchase.

This article examines some of the cases in which the true notion of marriage is distorted by courts in Pakistan and India.

Doing What You Say, Robert D. Cooter

Robert Cooter

Making wealth requires people to do what they say. In relationships and repeat transactions, reciprocity makes people do what they say, even without contract law. Relationships and repeat transactions, however, preclude competition. Competition involving transactions with strangers invigorates an economy and enables it to flourish. Making strangers do what they say requires them to commit legally. According to the contract principle for economic cooperation, the law should enable people to commit to doing what they say. When this principle is implemented, strangers can trust each other enough to work together even when money is at stake. Implementing this principle requires …

Adam Epstein

The purpose of this article is to provide insight into the basics of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and explore its application to sports law. Particular focus is on the sale of goods found in the UCC's Article 2. Whether a buyer and seller closes a deal for the sale of helmets, bats, balls, backboards, sports memorabilia, a new artificial surface for the outdoor field or to fulfill an order for a new set of game jerseys, the UCC applies to the sale if the parties to the sales contract failed to otherwise agree upon the specifics.

The Incentives In The Fiscal Framework Of The Nigerian Mous With The International Oil Companies: Have The Objectives Been Achieved?, Humphrey Onyeukwu

Humphrey Onyeukwu

ABSTRACT: The Nigerian Government had entered into Memoranda of Understandings (MoUs) with the various major International Oil Companies (IOCs) in the 1990s providing incentives to the companies at a period when the Oil market was experiencing oil price recession.
